What's Included
- Sturm Ruger Police Service-Six .357 Mag. revolver
The Police Service-Six pairs a robust chrome-moly steel frame with a carbon steel 4" barrel, all finished in blued. Its six-shot fluted cylinder uses a left-side push-button release and swings out for loading and ejection. A short under-barrel lug and a spring-loaded front lock in the barrel lug that engages a detent in the crane; the knurled ejector rod is not a latch.
Controls and handling are straightforward: double-action/single-action operation with an exposed, checkered hammer spur, a square-butt grip frame, and checkered wood stocks bearing Ruger medallions. Ruger's transfer-bar system provides reliable ignition while allowing safe carry with all chambers loaded.
The fixed-sight arrangement consists of a ramped blade front and a rear fixed square-notch integral to the topstrap, providing a durable sight picture intended for duty use. The configuration aligns with the simple, no-nonsense design of the Police Service-Six series.
Markings include the right-side frame rollmark "RUGER POLICE SERVICE-SIX" and a barrel address with "SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A." The revolver reflects its 1970s U.S. production and the model's law-enforcement heritage.
